Monday's event pick: Columbus Day Parade & Festival

By Christy Purington Mon Oct 12 2009

If you missed the San Gennaro fest, today's your chance for a redo. If you're lucky enough to have the day off of work to spend with your kids, head to midtown to watch bands in costume and various Italian-American associations march up Fifth Avenue alongside bountiful floats and sleek rides at the
Columbus Day Parade & Festival
. If downtown is more your scene, hundreds of vendors will be dishing up treats like cannoli, pizza, and gelato. Happy Columbus Day!
